The elk have went quiet in a hurry, I assume it's a combination of the rut winding down- if not over, the extremely hot weather, and the full moon... So how do I find these bulls now, for the last couple weeks of archery??? I know elk are in the area, just wondering what you guys think would be...
Looking for a light, and reasonably priced 2 man tent to pack into hunting camp... Needs to be able to handle down to about 10 or 20 degrees, and us inside dry :)
I am looking into a couple Kelty options (seem heavy) and also the new Badlands Mirage (seems expensive)... anyone have any...
Long story short, I found a place back in a great area to set up a few trail cams this spring and summer. I had 5 different bulls on the cams. According to the dates, they came about every 8-15 days, so not very often. I am going to head there this weekend and would like to know the best plan of...
Jimmy rigged my toolbox and stole a bunch of my hunting gear... range finder, calls, camo, shoes, wool socks. Luckily my bow, arrows, and pack weren't in there I guess...
And thank goodness for Cabelas points and overnight shipping... here I come Saturday with some new gear!! (unfortunately).
I'm that guy that doesn't like change... If it ain't broke don't fix it- I'm especially that way with my hunting and camping gear. I have shot a bull the last 3 years with the same setup... All the elk were 35 yards or less. I have a 27 inch draw, pulling 63 pounds, and shoot 85 grain montec g5...
2013 is no longer accessible and the 2014 maps don't come out until August. Does anyone have a copy of BMA 118 in Region 3 that I could look at? I can't find it anywhere, I know it's becasue of contracts not being finalized but I know this one is final for the 2014 year.
Thanks!
Anyone know when the "middle of April" means for the drawing results for elk permits? I think the 8th is a bit early and not quite the "middle' :) but anyone know when the results are going to be posted?
Caught plenty of trout and pearch through the ice, looking to catch walleye too. What kind of set ups are you guys using or doing anything differently? Or do I just do the same thing that I am doing now and hope a walleye bites?
Looking for a pack that will be comfortable for a couple days tops, (maybe a one night stay) but more than likely one day. And will get the job done packing out an elk when I get one a few miles pack... I can't afford MR packs (unless there are some cheaper ones that I don't know about)...
Looking to do a lot of weekend trips to alpine mountain lakes this summer. I have done almost all the lakes up Gallatin Canyon... Looking for some remote mountain lakes to hike into this summer, anywhere from 0-3 hours drive time from BZN. Hiking distance is not an issue. Would like to see how...
Anyone have any ideas for me to get my hands on some 165 grain, 300 WSM around Bozeman. Haven't dealt with any online vendors at all, not opposed as long as they can get it to me ASAP without costing an arm and a leg. Sportsman, Bob Wards, Schnees don't have any :(
Looking for some relatively cheap earplugs that I can just pop in once i see an animal without having to wait for those really cheap ones to expand or without having to carry a huge pair around... any suggestions?
trying to save what I have left in these tinitus riddled ear drums
I got permission to go through some private land by Emigrant to get to the checker boarded mess of national forest land back kind of by Hyalite. The landowner, a woman, said the elk have been bulgling and I have no reason not to believe her. I called a couple of the ranches because of the...
I always thought I knew what blue paint/tape/markers meant out in the wilderness but I have seen them in weird places... I have also seen random orange tape and pink tape. I guess I need a refresher. What do these colors mean? I can't find them on fwp.mt.gov :confused:
Was with a buddy tonight that shot "at" a bull... he is using a 300 WSM and the bull was about 75 yards away, uphill. It was with another bull, the bull not shot ran off. We climbed the hill to find the bull in kind of a bowl. It was walking/ limping as it side hilled away. We waited about 30...
It's the time of the year where freezers are becoming full, give some elk recipes to make it so our freezers can close more easily!!
"Pulled Elk"
Put an elk roast in a crock pot, fill the pot with root beer - not water. Usually takes 2, 12 ounces can of RB. Cook it on high for 6-8 hours or...
Looking for something VERY, VERY, VERY quiet. We will be hunting elk through a lot of thorn brush all of November. My current cables pants are loud as hell. and everything else I am seeing either won't be worn enough or is too loud.
Will be hiking too much, so wool would be a pain in the ass...
